I hope he runs and wins. He's definitely better than what they have now.

Despite his stupidity in running for President, he still has a huge following in Texas and a massive organization still in place across the state.

He also stayed during the power failures, reaching out to seniors while some other people *cough* fled to Cancun. Right there, that says a lot.

I hope all the greiving families of people lost to COVID  in Texas vote out their killers. 

He would be a great governor. Sadly his gun positions likely take him out of a statewide win, but you  never know.

Well, there are plenty of women who are angry in TX, thanks to the GOP. Don't count them out.

As quiet as it's kept, there are doctors who are defying the Texas abortion law and they are not at all keeping it a secret.

Which really shows how dim some of these people are. No matter what laws are put in place by a shadow docket, they're not going to stop abortions from happening. I am personally anti-abortion except for cases like rape and incest, but I know that it's not a one size fits all issue. The provision of deputizing people as bounty hunters is outrageous and dangerous, and the fact that the GOP is so hypocritical when it comes to COVID-19 is why especially in TX they should be voted out.

What a joke. This is the type of stuff that Manchin and Sinema and those hiding behind them are allowing to keep voters home in 2022.

The Senate actually fired the parliamentarian in 2001. Here's why:

This shouldn't be allowed to happen. Why not select a pool of candidates from elsewhere, apart from the huge accounting and law firms? 

 

Brilliant expose of how accounting firm tax specialists infiltrate @USTreasury, arrange favors for clients, then return to the Big 4 and get big paychecks.

I wish I could say I'm surprised, but I'm not. Angry? Yes.

 

Big shock about Sinema. 🙄

It's not a surprise but it needs to stop. It's been decades. I don't think most people are aware that this has been happening.

Exactly.
